I believe the answer is:

sheeps eyes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'amorous glances' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dolly perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'dolly' becomes 'sheep' (Dolly the Sheep is an example).
'perhaps?' becomes 'seyes' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sheep'+'seyes'='SHEEPS EYES'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheeps eyes that I've seen before include "inviting glances" , "A delicacy in Saudi Arabia" , "amorous glances" , "They may be eaten in Morocco" , "The Look of Love?" .)
